> What’s the plan here?

There's only ever been one plan and it hasn't changed:

1) cut funding to a public service

2) said service goes to shit because it lacks support

3) use chaos as an excuse to privatize it so someone makes a buck

then move on to the next service

That's the plan for every other federal service. For public land in particular there's an extra fun bonus step of selling the land to be exploited fully. Look at the Secretary of Interior's record in North Dakota.

It "worked" for the UK, now the cost of water keeps raising and the level of service keeps going down.
